Question

A rectangular steel block is 4 inches long in the x direction, 2 inches long in the y direction, and 3 inches long in the z direction. The block is subjected to a triaxial loading of three uniformly distributed forces as follows: 50 kips tension in the x direction, 65 kips compression in the y direction, and 55 kips tension in the z direction. If v = 0.30 and E = 29 x 10° psi. What is the total elongation in the x-direction?
